Here is a link to the "acceptable" reasons to travel to Cuba

12 resons

I was asked in STL at check in for my reason. The girl really didn't have a clue as she entered the information in the computer. Also had to give the address of where we are staying. We just got the boarding pass stamped from the Cuba Ready booth here in MIA that will allow us to board.Had to show our passport, Cuba travel card/visa and AA boarding pass, took about 2 minutes. Nobody has asked the reason for the trip since the girl in STL.

I think there is a lot of expanded definitions of the 12 reasons now to go.
